I really believe the field is suspect as a contributing factor. It's not just limited to the Lions because visiting teams also have players that suffer knee injuries in Detroit.

1000% agree with this. I cringe every time I see the Bengals playing the Lions. Kenny Irons tore his ACL against the Lions in the preseason which ended his career before it ever got started (Probably would have sucked anyway, but still). Ki Jana Carter tore his ACL against the Lions as well, but I think it was pre-Ford Field. Still bad juju in Detroit...

Yeah, that would've been at the Silverdome. tbh haven't really noticed anything in terms of a higher volume of injuries at Ford Field, but I don't pay attention to that stuff. Surely it's possible, but I would guess more of a coincidence.

and to poster a few above, Charles was running out of bounds but I'm pretty sure it was at Ford Field. iirc he almost ran/tripped into Roary_________________

Mark Clayton tore his patellar tendon there too._________________

Off the field? Like when he is grocery shopping, does he block the freezer aisle with his sluggish selection of which hungry man to buy?

So, the field is dirty too?

But this sucks. He was looking like he could be a very good receiver. This will just delay his development....again._________________

Nah, just the turf monster. Rams have the same issue._________________

Pep tweaked his knee pretty good there last year, Mark Bradley tore his ACL there in 2005. God I hope we are able to sit our starters somehow in that game._________________2013 Bears Forum Mike Ditka Award Winner
